‘Vendor’ partition flash fails part-way. Can't start device. - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

I'm attempting to re-flash the Samsung Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F) partitions from the official firmware.
Most partitions work, but the “VENDOR” partition fails part-way through.
Heimdall reports “ERROR: Failed to send file part packet!” and the session aborts.
According to the device this is because “SYSTEM REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:13, BINARY:12 (VENDOR)”
In this state the device refuses to start at all; powering on the device leads instantly to a graphical message:
> An error has occurred while updating the device software.
> Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.
I don't use Windows at all, so don't have that software. How can I use Heimdall to flash the full Vendor partition without error?

Sorry ... I would get a Windows PC, install Samsung drivers and Odin, then flash stock firmware files (if really needed with pit file for re-partitioning) to the phone.
Just for repairing the device. Then you can give the windows PC back to your friend.

Thanks for the reply:

When I tried that earlier, the device aborted the flash process and displayed the message

I think Odin running on Windows will simply do the same thing; what would be different if I tried again?

IDK about Heimdall, but there are patched versions of Odin available with which you can skip some file version validations.
And with Odin you can explicitly flash a pit file to re-partition the internal storage.

There are several versions available, such as here:
Patched Odin 3.13.1
For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...

Be careful to flash only files that are compatible with your exact device model.

One thing I wonder is whether I already attempted to flash the wrong firmware.
If that's what I did, have I actually made the problem worse? Or will flashing the correct firmware work anyway?

this means, the firmware you'll install is to old.
you can't downgrade your device.
search for frija or samfirm reborn (both windows) here in xda to get an actually Firmware, use binary nature.

Ah, that makes sense. And if I simply flash a newer firmware now, the earlier failure does not matter. Right?

I have found a firmware that appears to match, at https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G960F/XSA/G960FXXUFFUC6
any reason why that is a bad choice?

[Q] Trying to install firmware, but Odin failed and now phone won't boot

I was trying to install the latest firmware on my son's M919 via Odin 3.09. I downloaded M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB from SAMMOBILE and went to Odin to install. The installation failed. The error said Fail (auth). Now when the phone boots, it goes to a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I downloaded both versions of Kies, but neither one can see the phone in Firmware emergency recovery. I can still get into Download mode, but have been unable to successfully flash any stock firmware. I notice on the screen that the phone says SYSTEM STATUS: Official and WRITE PROTECTION: Enable. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It is possible that the file you downloaded from sammobile did not finish correctly and is corrupt. Try redownloading it and try it again. I dont think it will make any difference but I usually will use odin 3.07.

I have downloaded files a couple of times. Even downloaded the file from the post in the General section of this forum. Used 3.09 and 3.07, all with the same results. I am using Windows 8 if that makes a difference. May try it on Windows 7 when I get a chance.

I used to have that a problem with my desktop that has windows 8. Recently I have been using my windows 7 laptop. There are different drivers needed when you are in download mode, plug it in when the phone is in download mode and let it search and find the drivers. You might even want to reinstall the samsung mobile drivers. I would also recommend to use the usb cable that came with the device. Best of luck.

It finds the drivers. I have done this on my Note 8.0 without issue. Not sure why this phone is giving me such grief.
The phone does show up in Odin in the com box correct? Even so I would still just do it on a Windows 7 computer.

Had you previously been using the modem/baseband from a firmware that you weren't officially on? i.e. NB4 modem/baseband on either MDL or MK2 bootloader? If so, revert just the modem to your bootloader version and then attempt the Odin flash again.

Honestly, I am not sure which version he was on. I had assumed the latest or at least 4.3. How would I install just the modem?

Yes, Odin sees that there is a device on the COM port.
Success. Windows 7, 4.4.2, and Odin 1.85. Flashed without issue. Thanks everyone.

Heimdall doesn't work with SM-T320 (8.4")?

Hi, I'm trying to use Heimdall to flash a custom recovery to the tablet, so that I can install CM11. The tablet is unrooted stock with all latest updates.
I'm using the latest Heimdall built from source (cloned from https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall.git) on Ubuntu 14.04. (I first tried the Heimdall from the Ubuntu packages, with identical results.)
Whether I try to flash --RECOVERY, or simply print-pit, the error is the same:
Downloading device's PIT file...
ERROR: Failed to send request to end PIT file transfer!
ERROR: Failed to download PIT file!
Ending session...
ERROR: Failed to send end session packet!
Releasing device interface...
Re-attaching kernel driver...
Anyone know what this means and if it's possible to get it to work?!
(I should mention that Windows is not an option, I don't have it and don't know a single person in real life who does )
Also: is there a temproot method that can be used to install recovery without Heimdall?

You need to be rooted to install a custom recovery. After that to flash a recovery, look up flashify and it will auto install cm recovery, twrp or philz (you get to choose), and it will flash it for you.

A little late, but just in case anyone is having the same problem, it seems that Heimdall is known not to work on this device. There's an open issue in the Heimdall github tracker discussing this:
https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/issues/209#issuecomment-59784895
Unfortunately it doesn't seem very active and so I don't know if it will be fixed. The good news is that Windows+Odin worked from inside a VM, as suggested there. So at least you don't have to dual boot the damn thing

Awesome, thanks. I didn't actually know how to temproot the stock ROM, which is why I didn't go this route first. At least now I can update the recovery from within CM11 without going back to Odin, so that's quite helpful as well.

Heimdall doesn't work with picassowifi (10.1) either (although cyanogenmod instructions clearly say it works).
Oddly enough, the only ODIN that worked was the latest one (3.09 IIRC), no previous versions worked.
I have the exact same issue. Does anyone know a way to make this work?

Seems like the only option is to use odin on windows at the moment. Even manually loading a pit backup won't work for me.
Quick update:
I was able to find odin and hop on a windows box and perform a flash right away. for those struggling to find the correct files for odin you can locate them with the following hashes

If anyone tried using CF-root successfully, leave a confirmation below.
I'm interested too if anyone flashes please report back asap. Doesn't seem like much seeing as the rom is still 5.0 not 5.1 or 6 so more than likely its just 300 mb of "security updates".
Just an update: the new PL1 firmware can be rooted by CF-auto-root.
One more update: the android security patch level is still 2016-09-01, the same as the SPH3 firmware. Don't know why they say this is an "android security update"in the description.
I thought the android security patch level should be 2016-12-01 since it was built on 2016-12-12.

Baseband not updaing
Hi guys..
I have upgraded to the N900TUVSFPL1 update.. but I noticed the baseband still says N900TUVSFPH3 and the Android Security Patch Level says 2016-09-01... is this normal?

I think that you have to power off the phone and boot into download mode from the power off state. Otherwise, the bootloader and baseband won't update.

Right.. but it makes a difference if you reboot into download mode (while the phone's still on) or have the phone turned off and then boot directly into download mode (volume-down + home + power).

tar -xvf N900TUVSFPL1_N900TTMBFPL1_N900TUVSFPL1_HOME.tar
Lastly, review the pit file and pick the partitions/files you want to flash. Use the tool you're most comfortable with to do the job.
Many posts refer to the necessity of bootloaders and modems being compatible. So I have not (and would not) flash just the modem. Er, that is unless someone else already did it and reported success.

Pit file for SM-T525 needed. Fail (size) in Odin. Need to repartition.

SOLVED
Hi!
I'm new here. I managed to flash a twrp recovery that didn't play well with my tablet. I tried to flash the stock ROM with Odin, but the operation failed do to fail (size), which I have read is due to need to repartition. DO any of you know how to get hold of the PIT-file for SM-T525? It is not easy to find on the internet.
Any help would be deeply appreciated!

Found pit file! Now its just not booting properly.
Hi again. Found a working pit file after much ado. Managed to flash the stock rom with the partition table with a couple of % left on the battery. It is still not booting properly, but at least firmware and recovery is back in working order and the boot loop is gone.
If you download a multiple Firmware from Sammy, the PIT file is included in the CSC image.
So you can extracted from there.

Can you please explain this a bit more in detail? Want to flash Stock-FW via ODIN, but get fail because of size of hidden.img.ext4.
From what I read until now - guess I need to flash it with a PIT. But where to get the PID file ?
What do you mean with multiparty FW. I just know source sammobile, where I can download different versions ....

Here are the link for the Download tool. Fast download from Sammy Servers.
If you check binary nature, you will download a multiple FW with Modem, CSC , Phone and Bootloader file.
Now unzip the CSC .image and you have got the PIT file for this Rom and your Tab.

Had this tool already, but the hint "binary" was important.
Nevertheless - it still doesn't work. It tried this Odin methods (see below), both fail. No idea what is the problem !?!?

If you allow it to flash a new system and user data image then yes.
You basically need a wipe anyways going from MM to Nougat.

Thanks. Ok. Do you have any security like any kind encryption installed on your phone ?
I update first post with newest ODIN. Are you unzipping file you download and put tar files in correct windows? Are you in Download mode when using ODIN ?

I'm not sure about security . It was a stock at note 5 until I tried updated to qb2. All dev factors are turned on, and the rar files are all unzipped and loaded through odin in download mode. It passes then the android update screen (the little robot ) says erasing upon revoot and I boot into mm again

OK. Try this , After you unzip from one zip to 4 files , unzip all 4 files to tar.md5 and try ODIN again. Check for any encryption installed on your phone preventing bootloader from overwriting files.

You have to necessarily erase the security lock fingerprints, you also have to remove the password lock, you have not any type of security lock, then you have to enable developer options and type USB debugging(This last one I do not know if it is strictly necessary, but just in case)If you have some security lock on your phone, even if you pray, you will not be able to!

What did you flash before this stock firmware?
DRK=device root key
Clicking from Edge of Galaxy
Just a thought, can you Odin flash any other version of the official AT&T firmware? Maybe try another version to see if the phone is truly screwed.
Also, have you tried a factory reset on the phone first. Maybe something (anything) loaded on the phone is preventing the Odin flash. I know this shouldn't matter but it's worth a try.
